Choose the appropriate passive voice conversion for the given sentence:
We will execute all orders promptly.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → All orders will be executed promptly.
Active to passive voice (simple future):
| Change | Active | Passive | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Object becomes subject | all orders | All orders | “All orders” moves to the front. |
| Tense kept | will execute | will be executed | Be + past participle, in the same tense: “will execute” becomes “will be executed”. |
| Agent (by ...) | We | (by us) left out | “By us” may be left out, because the doer is not important here. |
| Full sentence | We will execute all orders promptly. | All orders will be executed promptly. |
The adverb "promptly" stays.
Example: The results will be declared next week.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: All orders would executed promptly. — Incorrect.
- "Will" is changed to "would".
- "Be" is missing before "executed".
Option 2: Promptly orders will be execute by us. — Incorrect.
- The verb needs the past participle "executed", not "execute".
- "All" is dropped, and "promptly" is moved to an awkward place.
Option 3: We will be execute all orders promptly. — Incorrect. The doer "we" is still the subject, so it is not passive, and "will be execute" is ungrammatical.
